Holy shit, this thread just became infinitely more awesome. Thank you for taking the time to record this part of Serious Sam 2's history for us. The maps look really rough and unpolished, but you can see there's a lot of atmosphere already there, too bad a lot of it had to be scrapped or changed.

Really awesome to see those pictures of the development process. I actually appreciate the cartoon style as a one off thing and in terms of game play, Serious Sam 2 was amazing. The game is seriously underrated but it's a blast from the very start, throwing some awesome vehicles your way. Fighting those arachnids in the hovercraft was great whereas in the other games, the really cool parts don't come until much later, such as the jetpack battle in SS3.

Hi, there! Really loved the coverage of SS2's early content, especially the unused Cave Medium music. I swear there had to be some unused enemy and weapon sounds as well.

Anyway, about SS2 HD, I really hope it will come a long while after Serious Sam 4, which is actually a prequel of Sam 3: BFE. I'm thinking of HD Tank Biomechanoids, Albino Cyclopes, T-Mechs, you name it.

Is Croteam seriously working on this? I thought that it was just a theoretical topic for what we would like to see in a SS2 HD remake. I already like SS2 for what it is minus the netcode that makes playing at 1 fps look good.

If this is actually in the works, then they have a lot of their plate - Talos 2, Sam VR, SS4, and now this.

I call it "SS2 Reboot" because there's no official name for the project just yet, just "SS2 Reboot". It's not in development yet, but it is in planning. It will likely come before Talos 2, as that's not even really in planning yet, just that there'll be one. SamVR is a side project made by like 2 people.

You know how some levels in SS2 are split into two or three? Well, I think they should be merged together in that reboot. For example, Chanolin Chambers, Chanolin Temple, and Prince Chan (Level) should be combined into one. So should the prior two levels of Chi'Fang.
